adding things to silence

[k_k]

so err say ive got a nice sound going, i add reverb but tehn i just want teh reverb no original sound. how would i go about muting the sound but keeping the reverb in fruityloops, its something id like to experiment more with cheers

turn the dry sound down using the the dry knob or slider on the reverb

[3za]

yeah that way is better

Use the reverb on a send (the correct way ) as opposed to an insert effect.

um...... there's no problem or anything wrong with using reverb on an insert... there is no "correct way" only ways that work and ways that don't work


and for what he wants to do, it would work perfectly fine. Just use a 100% wet signal from the reverb.

its not correct but it is a more logical way to use reverb in a tune. but for what he is doing its probly best to use the mix on the reverb, because it would be stupid to set up a send just to do this.

more logical...? not for what he's doing, you just said so yourself

So, uh, would it not make more sense to use the reverb as an insert since you can have different setting for different instruments instead of having the exact same reverb on everything? Am I missing something? Or is it just not that big a deal?

[antics]

Just turning the dry sound down on the reverb is far easier and produces exactly the smae results...

Its far easier than linking up other channels and all that business...

What you will find though is that your noise will sound out of time, as the reverb wont take effect until a little later


This method is awesome for making airy pads...

People tend to use reverb sends to send multiple tracks to it because that way it gives the entire track a well fitting sense of space asa whole. This also tends to make reverb sound better on the track as a whole as this way it doesnt sound like different instruments in different spces. I tend to use this with my drum samples, sending every track to the same reverb giving all the drums the same space, but I still regularly use the reverb as an insert effect for extra long decays and such

[bedroom beats]

You could bounce just the reverb sound down then you can do what you like with it? or am I missing the point

There are plenty of uses for an insert reverb. For instance, using a tight, short reverb on a hat to give it some more width. Or at the other end of the spectrum and massive long reverb that only pokes its head out once in a while during a track. For continuity on a drum channel though. A send makes more sense.

[hbbsi]

I always operate on the assumption that its best to use insert reverb as more of a special effect on one or two particular sounds that don't really make up the "meat" of the tune. For consistency and creating a sense of depth in the mix, sends are usually better because you can make the actual effect of the reverb sound more consistent and adjust the front to back placement of your sounds by tweaking the send levels of each. Having lots of inserts, even with similar settings on each, tends to muddy up the mix because each individual reverb creates a "space" around each sound...rather than with sends where all the sounds sit separately within the same space.....did that make any sense??

...and one for bass

95% reverb on bass is a bad idea

and sounds like ass
